Kejriwal had sought the extension on medical grounds, stating that he required 5-7 days to undergo tests after campaigning for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. A diabetes patient, the Delhi CM said that he needed this time to avoid any potential long term damage to his health.
However, the Registrar observed that the relief sought was ‘misconceived’ and ‘directly in conflict’ with the apex court order.
“It is well settled that interim relief can be sought only in aid to the main relief. The relief sought for is beyond the scope of the main appeal since the issue relating to the validity of arrest of the Applicant is in question and not relating to his release on bail…For all these reasons, I refuse to receive the present application, as it does not disclose any reasonable cause for being entertained.”
